Before his performance on the CMA stage, Jelly Roll sat down with Everybody to talk about his battle with food addiction.
“My battle with food addiction has changed the way I’ve looked at food over the past 39 years. I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food so that’s the hard part. But once you do having that discipline and commitment, it was like an avalanche once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way there,” he said.
“No one in my family has ever had one [a healthy relationship with food]So that’s the hard part, really fighting that demon at first and staying with that discipline and commitment,” Jelly Roll shared.

At his heaviest, Jelly Roll shared in an Instagram post that he weighed 500 lbs.
“I’ve been obese since I was a kid. All I knew was fat, and I was miserable. I wanted to skydive, bungee jump, bull ride, parasail, ride roller coasters, I wanted to LIVE a life I live a normal life and have a normal relationship with food. I fight addiction and alcoholism every day,” he said.
His journey began in 2023 when the singer started exercising regularly and eating better. He added this habit to his touring life.
“It’s great because at one time in my life, the culture that I built around touring was the exact opposite. It revolved around alcohol and drugs. And now, our travel culture revolves around eating well, exercising and checking in emotionally with our crew.” every day,” Jelly explained Everybody.
